Charles Paul Zeman

LODI-Charles “Chuck” P. Zeman, age 85, of Lodi, WI passed away on May 31, 2018 at SSM Health Hospice House in Baraboo, WI. Chuck was one of twelve children born to Charles and Emma (Benish) Zeman. Charles was united in marriage to Gloria (Daniels) and they celebrated their 65th anniversary on April 25, 2018. They were blessed with three children, Dr. Charles M. (Tina), Patricia (Scott) Clemens and Matthew (Lonna). During his long struggle with prostate cancer, they were always supportive, patient and offered loving care. His sons took him elk hunting in Colorado and salmon fishing in Alaska, but fishing on Lake Wisconsin was his favorite. Even if he didn’t catch a fish, he would come home and say, “it was a good day on the water”. Chuck was a Marine Corp veteran, member of the American Legion and was thrilled to participate in the Badger Honor Flight in 2016. He farmed in the township of West Point and worked for Oscar Mayer retiring after 31 years. He was an accomplished deer hunter, could find morels like no other and grew the sweetest cantaloupe. Chuck enjoyed his winters in Gulf Shores, AL and was an avid curler skipping Wisconsin’s Senior champs in 1991 and participating in the Senior Nationals bonspiel. Charles is survived by his wife, Gloria; his children; grandchildren Jason and Jared Zeman, Lisa Burros, Brenda (Jeremy) Koenig and Alan (Chrissy) Clemens, Jeff (Misty) and David (Christie) Zeman; thirteen great-grandchildren; brothers Vern, Bob, Tom, John and Jim and sisters Ann Seeger, Violet Attoe and Betty Johnson.
